“…A gastrite varioliforme (GV) é uma entidade endoscópica caracterizada por tumefação de pregas que não se desfazem à insuflação habitual de ar, nódulos elevados com base indurada (nódulos aftóides) e por erosões elevadas (1,3,5,6,15,20,21,26,27,28,37) . Este aspecto endoscópico não é habitual e difere de outros tipos de gastrites crônicas (2,13,14,31,38,40) .…”

“…Foi descrita por MOUTIER e MARTIN (28) , que relataram dois casos deste tipo especial de gastrite. Desde sua descrição inicial, achados endoscópicos similares têm sido feitos, empregando-se para denominá-los sinonímias tais como gastrite erosiva crônica, úlcera aftóide, erosões completas ou octopus sucker (6,15,22,26,27,31,37) . A análise da freqüência desta entidade é difícil de ser determinada com precisão devido tanto à nomenclatura utilizada, quanto ao pequeno número de trabalhos publicados sobre a matéria.…”

Varioliform gastritis is currently recognized as a special kind of chronic gastritis characterized by nodules, thickened fugal folds and erosions. These features appear to be unusual and different from those seen in chronic gastritis. The frequency of varioliform gastritis rarely exceeds 3% and the diagnosis can be easily made by endoscopic examination. Very little is known about the etiopathogeny, clinical significance and evolution of this disease. The role of Helicobacter pylori still remains unknown, although a close relationship between this gastritis and lymphocytic gastritis was suggested to exist over the last few years. The aim of the present study was to investigate the frequency of varioliform gastritis and its possible correlation with lymphocytic gastritis. To our knowledge, this is the first systematic study of varioliform gastritis in South America. We studied endoscopically 200 consecutive patients and found only one case of varioliform gastritis (0.5%). In a second part of the study, we examined histopathologically mucosa biopsies from 24 patients with varioliform gastritis and studied the presence of intraepithelial lymphocytes to verify the presence of lymphocytic gastritis. No case was found. We conclude that there was no correlation between varioliform gastritis and lymphocytic gastritis in our patients.
